Commuters are experiencing road closures and disrupted rail services as multiple flood warnings remain in effect due to heavy rainfall. Some areas have received over a month’s worth of rain in just 24 hours, causing rising waters to damage homes and render roads impassable. A new weather warning has been issued for Thursday, predicting further heavy rain and strong winds across northern England and the North Midlands, with the potential for additional flooding. The Met Office warns that the heaviest rainfall, expected to accumulate between 80-100 mm, will impact the Pennines and North York Moors, while coastal areas may also face strong winds.
